This is a lovely locals pub, not far from South Wimbledon station but not easy to find if you don't…read morehave good direction. The pub has won a number of awards and is the current CAMRA pub of the year for south west London. There were half a dozen mostly local ales on and a couple of ciders. Stuck to the ale myself and the 3 I tried were all in excellent condition. My favourite was the TSB (no link to the bank...or it would probably have left me with the same bitter aftertaste as my interactions with the institution have). The pub looks slightly unusual to me from the outside, but in a very cool way. Inside this is a charming relatively old fashioned pub with some coloured lights, paintings and adverts for local events. There are a couple of tv screens for the sport.

A mecca for real ale drinkers, they have 6 hand pumps of mainly local brews, Clarence and Fredericks, By the Horns, etc.It has a tiny no-frills bar.

Part of the Barras chain, the Earl Beatty is a unique community boozer. It has a war roomI mean a…read moreroom with models of aeroplanes and ships and stuff. That is pretty odd. Otherwise, it is next to Motspur Park station making it a good stop off for a quiet pint if using the train in between Wimbledon, Epsom, Raynes Park or Worcester Park. The food here is rather good pub grub, with burgers, chips and steakes the favourites. They do rather good offers on food here and as it is never that busy for the size of the place. It has 5 rooms, one is outside and called the beer garden, another is also outside and called 'the car park' one is a lounge, one a bar and another is the war room with a pool table in it. They have TVs for the football which they have and show Sky and Setanta sports channels. Beers here are Stella, Kronenbroug, Strongbow, a couple of real alesstandard fare really. This is the only pub for about half a mile so you like it or lump it and get on the train elsewhere.

At the end of 2014 they performed a major refurbishment to the pub so my neighbour and I decided to pop in. Wow. Classy bar and clean trendy bar area, wooden floors with benches. Really nice. An excellent selection of local ales on top (such as HOP from Hogsback down in tongham) as well as a small selection of craft beers (but it would be good to get some more!). We havent tried the food yet, but the pub is both dog and kid friendly which is excellent so we will definitely be going back to test it out.

Where else in this area can you get a 2 very good quality 10oz gammon steaks for £9 (March 2011 prices) While menu at the Fountain is cheaper, there is far more care in preparation and quality at The Oak - and unlike The Fountain there is little if any chance of the atmosphere turning nasty. The garden is usable (mainly by us smokers) most of the year thanks to the provision of patio heaters. Staff are now very friendly and helpful, especially since a rather grumpy one resigned. The real ale is limited to a couple of offerings, but they are well looked after.

The superb experience began with the aforementioned phone call. The assistant manager (hi Ben) was so impressed with our determination to visit his establishment, he'd chosen two of the seven (I think) available real ales for us, poured them before we arrived, and bought them for us. He made us drool with a description of last weekend's beer festival (and it was a proper festival at that, with loads of beers on tap), and the brochure from it. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The pub is indeed hard to find it is in a sports' ground, but not the LSE sports' ground (important to note it's where we looked first). There is a large car park behind it, and the building is a single story oddity it doesn't hugely resemble a pub. Once you walk in though, your eyes will be assailed with stuff. The pub is football themed, but not in the kind of eight-million tellies blaring the Chelsea game at full volume. Whilst there are a couple of LCD televisions, indeed, showing the footy, they are not hugely obstrusive. Instead, what makes this a football pub is the sheer amount of memorabilia on the walls, ceilings, tables, bar indeed, every available space. It is, even for a non-football fan like me, fascinating. The beer is superbly kept. I had a couple of pints of one Redemption's offerings (I had tried their beer before when they first opened at a beer tasting). It was just right the temperature was spot on (just a little below room temperature), and it was clear and tasty. This is clearly a pub that values its real ales. The staff all of them (even those not working but using the pub as their local) were amazingly friendly, kind, funny and welcoming (if a bit squeaky you know who you are! mwhahaha). There is a small beer garden/smokers' corner. It is neat and tidy, though not amazingly interesting (compared to the pub's interior, especially). This is a pub I will certainly be visiting again if I lived a bit closer, it would be a pub I'd be happy to call my local.

Did you forget to order something and the bulk of your food has already arrived? No problem; just order more through the app. You ran out a condiment? There is a table with fresh bottles available to you. The food is regular pub grub (although their Tikka Masala is my favourite), they have a good selection of alcohol, their espressos are actually decent, and it's pretty clean. I really like the convenience of coming here. The only thing I would change about the place is have the smoking clientele take a few steps away from the front door while their having their cigarettes. They block the door and you have to walk through their cloud of smoke in order to get in and out.

Covid or no, this is still one of the most comfortable- and comforting- pubs in London. The…read moreinterior is dimly-lit and rustic all around, complete with 'Lords' & 'Ladies' restrooms, a toasty fireplace, and cozy nooks to have intimate conversations in. The staff is still among the friendliest I've encountered in London- especially in a pub- and despite the current situation, not much has changed. Most places are now requesting that people pay a not-so-small holding fee (per person) in advance for the table, which one does not get back if cancelling on the same day; not so with this place. Booking was easy and the table was free. Prices were not so low, but more on that later. My one and only reason to eat in a pub, on any given week, is Sunday Roast. If you're new to London and don't know what this is, don't ask questions; just go and order one, already (on a Sunday). The Sunday Roast at the Crooked Billet is in my list of Top 3 Sunday Roasts in all of London. Whatever gravy/ sauce/ Yorkshire-something-or-other they're putting in there, it lends the whole meal the perfect balance of flavor, whether you're eating the veggie version or a meat-laden one. Of that, you have your choice of beef, lamb, or chicken. My personal favorite is the chicken; because you can never go wrong with chicken. As for the drinks menu, you have your usual round of stouts, lagers, ciders, and whatever else you alcoholics enjoy. I can never get away from my love of the sweeter drinks, so I always go for their ciders on tap; it compliments any meal perfectly, in my opinion. Don't judge. I know I said I would never order anything other than Sunday Roast at a pub, but that may have been half a lie. One of my friends can't help herself when it comes to dessert, and I am not one to stop her. As such a great friend, however, I'm not averse to sharing the calories and splitting the bill. So, I can attest to the sheer delicious perfection that is their Salted Caramel Pudding dessert with a scoop of ice cream. The others are great, too, but this one really stands out among the rest. Now, as to the unpleasantness: Given the current situation and all the measures that have been put into place, I feel that prices have gone up everywhere. I can't be sure if that's the case here, but between the 3 of us, my friends and I managed to spend a few quid shy of £100. Not unreasonable given all we ordered, but keep the tab in mind when going for all of those extra drinks; for your wallet's sake. Happy gorging!
